Puppy With Second Tail On Forehead Will Melt Your Heart

An animal rescue shelter in Missouri has taken in an abandoned puppy that has a second tail growing from the middle of its head. The abandoned puppy was found in freezing cold and taken in by a shelter in Missouri who have named him "Narwhal the Little Magical Furry Unicorn".

He was found along with another dog that may be his father, in the freezing cold, and one paw had the beginnings of frostbite. Despite that, he's as playful and happy as any puppy now that he's warm and fed.

The 10-week-old puppy was given the name "Narwhal" by the shelter staff at Mac's Mission and after releasing photos of this sweet little guy, he's gone viral, amassing tens of thousands of likes on Facebook.

Veterinarians have X-rayed the dog's (vestigal) second tail and found it isn't attached to anything vital - it also doesn't wag. But because it doesn't cause Narwhal any pain, they're not going to surgically remove it.

He’s not ready for adoption yet, but Mac's Mission has already received over 50 adoption applications for him. A spokesperson said "“Everyone is super interested in him,” the spokesperson said — but “we are hopeful they are seeing the other available dogs as well!”
